Ear syringing appointments
Our nurses provide a limited number of ear syringing appointments.
If you have followed the NHS self-help advice in the link above and the oil treatment for 5 days has not worked, please contact our receptionist to book an ear syringing appointment.
In the 5 days running up to your appointment, please put oil in your ears, 4 times daily. This must be done to ensure the wax is soft and ready to be syringed.
